A man in Abilene, Texas has caused a minor uproar by installing a replica of “David” on his front lawn, The neighbors are none too amused. Penises make people crazy 😉 Another guy, in the UK, has painted his home to recreate the Sistine Chapel. For some reason he used the face of British comedian Russell Brand for the image of Jesus. Is it just me or is that a little disturbing? 😆

Let’s have a little music for “Music Monday” and start the week off right. This is a great track that I reblogged recently on my Tumblr. It’s Nina Simone singing “In The Dark”from the 1967 album Nina Simone Sings the Blues. Incredible vocals, and sexy lyrics – “In the dark, it’s just you and I . . .”
